Q (Initially posted on 11/18/02) FROM MENTEE STEFANEY B. IN MA
How much math is required...to become an archeologist?

A: FROM MENTOR CHANDRA INGLIS IN WV
Basic math skills and some statistics are really all that is needed for most
professional Archaeologists. We do a lot of work with measurements and
percentages. All of our work is done in metric, but we always include
conversions to standard measurement (inches, feet) in our reports since
America is the only country still using the standard measurement form.

One path to becoming an archeologist is to pursue a Bachelor's degree in Anthropology. Most Anthropology programs require little or no math. I recomment that you look into university programs by first talking with a reference librarian or career counselor and then searching the web. This will give you many details about degree options and class requirements.
